With lfs a git repo is no longer decentralized, someone has to keep all of the files for previous commits and that duty rests on the lfs server. 2025-04-27T16:21:48Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsfptg226dy9gjf2gmjt8a7w98k4l7msegr50zt54fjlp65w8ls9tszypt4a9pfp488vxjd3xz9sy307etatc4es2vspjxm6hejwr4cxd0nxhr9kkm In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsz5s59h26ea8w97cvqm908rk3kdvfv2pdgw8y7vl2w6xtyt4agh0sr8cq8g'>nevent1q…cq8g</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Locally you are only storing one version of the file. git-lfs is a git hook that swaps out your specified binary file for a small hash and commits that instead; the lfs side of things uploads your binary file to a different service under the same hash. Your local git only keeps the hash files stored in each commit, when requesting a previous version it asks lfs to download the large file for that hash. 2025-04-27T16:12:40Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsynmvlv4z58mhhtn0gmuajngea7q3mj8tff0zagnt67rchjp2r46qzypt4a9pfp488vxjd3xz9sy307etatc4es2vspjxm6hejwr4cxd0nxgr9tr7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspcp8z22pcka8e2zzkeqnw0q35jwfjnk3cklw8r9meje8rcg2xqacgtf8es'>nevent1q…f8es</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>git lfs has to be able to checkout previous versions just like git, so all previously committed lfs files are stored. If you do not care about previous versions maybe you would prefer Syncthing?<br/>Binary files do not benefit from diff compression so it stores the full file, maybe compresses it individually but a .blend is already compressed. 2025-04-27T15:48:33Z
